Ridiculous.
So I'm out on the town the other night with my two friends- both young, outgoing, short, mid-size BBW... both gorgeous girls. We were in the car when a song (obviously familiar to them) came on the radio... and they started to sing it, but with lyrics the two of them made up over the Summer. It was something to the tune of "Don't you wish your girlfriend was fat like me," and poking fun at their rolls, thighs, jiggly-ness, and all those things that makes me wild about them but society ridicules or forces them to, in their own words, "hide," by wearing layers, etc.
So because there was just no possible way at this point I was to control myself anymore... I kind of blurted, "Maybe I do want my [hypothetical] girlfriend to look like you two" or something of that nature. Not that this was any shock to them, but their response was, as I would have expected- "Well, you're the only one." I said something like, "You'd be surprised how many guys like their women to have bodies like yours," but they just commented on how all those guys weren't generally the ones that THEY were attracted to... the well-musceled/tall/dark/handsome types... ATTRACTIVE guys. My first reaction was to blurt out, "Well, what about me?" They passed it off as not a big deal pretty much to appease me, that I was the one exception to guys who like fat girls being weird. Here, I just kind of gave up on the whole endeavor.
My problem is... I know in my mind that a few short descriptions (BBW, FA, etc.) may enlighten them a bit as to the vast and wonderful demographic of people that are not only like, but attracted to them. My gut feeling though is that those terms, which I'll self-proclaim as "technical" as far as our community goes, would do no good in conversation... make them think I'm even more weird than they already may. What do I do here? I'm in need of some advice for this and future situations... since I'm pretty confident this is something I'll encounter again. Thanks in advance for everyone's input!
